Testimonial from Michael Schor, P.Eng., St. Catharines, Ontario As a structural engineering firm, M.A. Steelcon Engineering Limited is required to provide preliminary designs and cost estimates in a very short time, which always constitutes a problem in our busy schedule. Ameco-17 solved this problem. Having used, both the concrete and structural steel versions, for high rise buildings, Ameco-17 reduced the engineering time by 75%, from any other similar program and allowed us to provide the information in a very short time, both accurate, and reliable. The input and the output of Ameco-17 is designed to match the principles and the way of thinking of a structural engineer. The gravity and lateral loads (earthquake and wind) are automatically calculated by the program which in itself is a great time saver. The software support provided by the team of Ameco-17 is outstanding. Purchasing Ameco-17 is a "must" for every Structural Engineering Firm.

Testimonial from Jacque Sauve, P.Eng., Ottawa The AMECO concrete and steel design system has been an important tool in my structural engineering career since 1970. Originally I used AMECO for two dimensional analysis and design using main frame computers since then the software has been regularly upgraded until in 1989, it was accessible on 386 PC's and doing three dimensional A&D. I have successfully used AMECO for various and numerous structural design ranging from continuous bridge design under moving truck and railway loads to three dimensional high rise concrete building design. This system has assisted me and my teams greatly in doing effective, efficient concrete and steel analysis and design and has been an indispensable and appreciated tool in my office, saving 80% in engineering time. Jacques G. Sauvé, M.Sc., P.Eng, Structural Engineer Senior Partner GENIVAR Ottawa/ Gatineau, Canada Ghislain Savard, ing., M.Sc.A: Project Director, TECSULT INC., Quebec writes: Recommendation I would recommend the purchase of Ameco-17 at any time. I would advise the engineer who has decided to buy it to follow an intensive 2 day course in order to familiarize himself with the language of this software. Using Ameco-17, one can reduce the structural engineering staff by more than half. Let Ameco-17 work for you! Capabilities of Ameco-17 During 25 years I have designed approximately 300 buildings with Ameco-17, and I have never encountered any problems. I have complete confidence in this software. I have used Ameco-17 for more than 95% of my work designing different types of buildings. Decision to purchase Ameco-17 In the early 80s, I was looking for software that I could use to facilitate designing structural projects. I attended an Ameco-17 presentation, and was impressed by the three-dimensional analysis, design and cost estimates for the whole building this software is capable of providing. As a result I decided to buy it. Ameco-17 design speed, accuracy and reliability Presently, I am committed to design in the same time frame the following 5 buildings in the health sector:
With Ameco-17, I am carrying out these structural
designs, all five at the same time, with minimal assistance from
other personnel.
